About
Natalya Plays Piano is a pianist for hire in Sydney, NSW.
The repertoire here is unusually broad. Jazz and blues standards, Chopin and Brahms, Einaudi and Yiruma, musical theatre and film, Elton John and Adele, Disney, and a genuine Studio Ghibli and Final Fantasy section for the people who grew up on those melodies. Natalya works with you before the event, and the easiest way in is a rough Spotify or YouTube playlist so she can hear the mood you're after. Specific requests are welcome. She brings a weighted keyboard, stand, stool and a small amp suited to rooms of up to about 100 people. Outdoors needs power and cover. Sydney based, and she holds a Working with Children Check.
Watch
The show
The planning starts as soon as the booking is locked in. Natalya gets in touch to talk through the day and work out what the music should be doing at each point. Most people find it easiest to throw together a rough playlist on Spotify or YouTube, because she can hear the mood from that far quicker than she can from a description. Got particular songs you want played? Send them through. She's glad to build them in rather than treating a request as an interruption.
On the day
Natalya arrives with everything she plays on. A fully weighted keyboard, stand, piano stool, music stand, plus a small amp and leads that suits a room holding up to about 100 people. If you're outdoors there are two things she'll need from you: access to a power point, and enough cover to keep the gear dry if the weather turns.
